Checking in from #GoKingsGo practice. A couple notes: Kevin Fiala is on the ice, skating with Quinton Byfield in some two-man drills. Kenny Connors has been running drills as a defenseman.

Scenes from UCLA’s practice today, featuring a pair of Bob Chesneys.

Nobody is happy with the new 24-team College Football Playoff … here’s two ways to fix it! 🏈 🏆

@BenScottStevens - bring back BCS rankings, but with 12 teams
@AlexHutton35 - 8 teams make CFP

A collapse, an OT winner and an interesting postgame reveal from Drew Doughty in my postgame #GoKingsGo report for @SportingTrib. https://t.co/Yd8DKxt9vB

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Byfield wins it in OT and the Kings squeak out two points they should’ve strolled to.

Headed to overtime tied at 5. Kings led 5-1 with 12:45 left in the third period. Brief but VERY audible booing in the arena.

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Senators go empty net at 1:50 and tie it 10 seconds later. Unbelievable comeback/collapse here.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Gustafsson called for interference, Kings botch a scramble at the net, and it's 5-4. Gonna be a very interesting final 7:26.

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Huge moment as the Kings' PK — shaky at best this season — kills a Kempe high-sticking.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

And the Senators score another one about 35 seconds later. 5-3 now and still a lot of time left.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Senators get one to make it 5-2 with 12:42 remaining.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

A 10-minute unsportsmanlike conduct for both, although there are more than 10 minutes left in the 3rd period.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Cousins and Helenius both called for penalties, but Cousins left the ice entirely rather than going to the box.

Update on the hit that got Hodgson ejected.

[LA Kings PR @LAKingsPR]

Defenseman Brandt Clarke will not return to tonight’s game due to an upper-body injury.

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Cousins takes a bit of a cheap shot at Kempe on his way to the bench, called for roughing, and the Kings get their seventh power play of the game.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Second period ends with the Kings up 5-1. Kings outshot the Senators 16-1 in that period, thanks largely to all that power-play time.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Yet another power play for the Kings as Nick Cousins commit a hooking penalty.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

After several good opportunities on the two-man advantage, Panarin rips one home. Kings piling it on to make it 5-1, still a lot of time left in the second period.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Now the Senators commit a hooking penalty. Kings are about to get a 5-on-3.

#GoKingsGo | @SportingTrib

[Alex Hutton @AlexHutton35]

Now Kempe gets a minor for a ... let's say questionable cross-checking call. Senators now on the power play despite having a major.
